Menu Plan Monday – Week of 7/22/12

July 23, 2012

We did a little bit better with timely dinners last week. Once I realized that summer was playing tricks on us, making us think that we had tons of time for dinner prep, I was able to get it together a bit. We had a plan and for the most part stuck to it.

If you’re struggling with summer meal planning, don’t lose heart. Instead, check out Food on the Table. It’s a totally free service (if you use the promo code SUMMERFREE when you sign up), and the menus are based on what’s on sale at your local grocery store. You even get to tell it what kinds of things you like to eat and if you have any dietary restrictions. Can’t beat that! Click here to sign up for free.
